December 17 (Reuters) – An Alaskan health worker had a serious allergic reaction after getting Pfizer Inc and BioNTech’s coronavirus vaccine, but is now stable, public health authorities said on Wednesday.
The adverse reaction in the person, minutes after taking the Pfizer shot on Tuesday, was similar to two cases reported last week in Britain.
Britain’s medical regulator has said that anyone with a history of anaphylaxis, or severe allergic reactions to a medicine or food, should not get the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has said that most Americans with allergies should be safe to receive the vaccine. It said only people who have previously had severe allergic reactions to vaccines or ingredients in this particular vaccine should avoid getting the shot.

A health-care worker in Alaska had a serious allergic reaction after getting the new coronavirus vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech - the first such case reported in the United States since shots began going into arms earlier this week, state officials revealed Wednesday.
The Alaska case echoes two similar cases in Britain in which health care workers had serious but nonfatal allergic reactions to the vaccine.
But the British workers had histories of severe allergic reactions, whereas the Alaska woman had none, state health officials said. She is in stable condition and expected to be discharged shortly from a hospital where she was kept overnight.
